Title: Angela Rayner
Post by: Sprotyrover on February 03, 2024, 10:06:18 pm

You truly are an unpleasant one, aren't you?

Two MPs have been murdered in the last 7.5 years. A Tory MP stood down this week because he is frightened for his safety after the abuse he's been taking.

And all you can do is offer this.

Disgusting.

That is a truly inappropriate post.

I suggest you think hard before starting any such thread again.

I think it's fair she's faced up to her own part in politics aswell and been pretty honest that her words did not help.  She also removes party politics from it, quite a fair article.

Oh I am sorry to have upset such a gentle soul such as yourself, I was merely trying to point out that if you put yourself in the firing line(and that goes for any Politician) you will need to be prepared to deal with some very unpleasant people coming into your fighting Arc!
Oh and I noted a lack of outrage from when those 2 twits tried to humiliate the ex Home Secretary!

Post by: Bristol Red Rover on February 05, 2024, 03:38:51 pm
Actually Rayner refers to the protester in the fundraising event as being threatening. Three points there

If you saw the vid of the event,  it was very securely managed from her point of view. The man, who has had family murdered in Gaza,  was very roughly treated by the thug of a cop.

Further Rayner already knew him. Had been in discussions with him.

That was when she was being supportive of Gaza. Now she's turned, eye on the leadership, and being pro Israel, not supporting Gaza. She's more suffering from guilt that fear.

The whole thing is a bit stinky.

It's not just a case of arguing over different views nowadays, it's about ridiculing and even hating people with different views.

It's not about being convinced that your side is good, it's all about finding the opposition to be bad, hence the constant searching for poison and scandal involving the opposition on social media, and then spreading it more.

Bring back the days when discussing politics was good in its place, but people's views were personal in public generally.

My aim is, and always has been to try and level up the loony left one-sided hypocrisy that is rife on this forum, and undoubtedly caused by you. I didn't search Twitter or Facebook or the Guardian to find Starmer's lie over the COVID vaccines, it was live on TV for all to see.

Some reading for you.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/11/newt-gingrich-says-youre-welcome/570832/

The current angry politics started a generation ago on the American right. It now infects the right of British politics.

That was and is a deliberate policy to make people angry. All I've ever done is call it out, with evidence every time.

You think that must mean that the other side is equally bad. That says more about you than anything else.

Your fixation with never once criticising a pathological liar of a PM, or the current mob that offer nothing but hate and Culture War says it all.

Instead, you obsessively say Starmer lied in Parliament, when the fact is he made a mistake when responding to  concerted and prolonged baiting by Johnson's team who WERE lying. And he corrected the record immediately.

People like you who steadfastly refuse to criticise liars and frauds and hate mongers are the reason why our politics is in such a hole, whatever sanctimonious stuff you might write about it.

Regarding Johnson, I've said on this forum that he has a career-long record of lying, and people who voted for him as leader knew that, but probably trusted him because they believed he was at least honest with his political intentions. Perhaps people preferred a liar to a terrorist sympathiser?

Your talk of the current mob that offer nothing but hate, but ignore a member of the opposition showing hate by calling them scum says more about you than anything else.

Oh, and by the way, Starmer DID NOT correct his lie immediately. It was several hours later, and only then declaring it a mistake, and not a lie (after all, only Tories lie!)

Regarding criticising liars, people like you who criticise Tory lies but steadfastly refuse to accept/mention Labour lies are the real hate mongers and the reason why our politicians find themselves in danger these days.

NC.

They never actually believed that.

Oh the Leave voters fell for it of course,  but the politicians who ran the campaign never believed it. They knew it was a lie. Cummings is on record as saying why they did it. They did it because they knew the Remain side had to argue that it was a lie, but in doing so, it only attracted more attention to it. And Cummings and the rest were banking in enough people being too thick to know it was a lie.

See, BB talks his high minded talk about standards in political discussion. But there was a plain and simple lie, right there, which quite likely tipped the balance in the most important vote in a century. A lie that was consciously peddled to knock the other side off their axis. And he's frequently defended it.

I thought the general consensus of Remoaners like you was that those "thick Brexit voters" were too much of a bunch of selfish bas**rds to give a f**k about the NHS anyway, so why would a suggestion of £350m a week to the NHS sway them to change allegiance from being wonderful, selfless, compassionate, salt of the earth Remainers like you, to selfish, self-centred, uncaring, racist Brexiters?

But many people would have liked to and now can't. If you, as you say, wouldn't have ever used it then why would you decry that opportunity to others, such as my Grandchildren.  And for what? Got any tangible Brexit benefits yet?

As I’ve said many times over I voted to avoid being part of the coming European superstate, so yes I’m happy with it, and no, I don’t care whether you see that as a benefit or not.

It will never be a super state as none of the countries in it want that - and it only takes a single veto to prevent it should any country want it.
 
It is a bloc, one of 3 major blocs in the world. Being part of it brings many advantages, being outside of it brings none at all

We can still visit the 27 countries with one passport.
As far as I am aware you only show your passport at the 1st country you visit, but even if you had to show it at all 27 it's still just one passport

So, if you have the required education and qualifications for a job in the EU can you tell me what's changed?

If your children or grandchildren would like the opportunity to work anywhere in the world then the only thing that would stop them is there own ambitions.

Individuals can and still do, what's the issue?

How does Rayner get away with bleatng on about danger when there was none? When she watched someone shje knew get rough dragged out after pointing out to her that members of hos family had been killed in Gaza. And that Rayner who had previously supported Palestine is now supporting Israel. The Labour machine deflected the flak she was getting by bringing up the danger issue, relating it to past murders of MPs. Cynical and disgusting.

Pipe down and think about it for a moment.

Here's a random example. Companies in the Netherlands who want to hire non-UK staff have to register  as a "referent" with the Government. There's a few of €2500-5000 depending on the type of company, plus the admin and of course the agro if something goes awry.

If you run a company in the Netherlands and you have two identically able applicants for a job, 1 from Donny and 1 from Hamburg, which one are you going to pick?

You can argue the scale of the barriers by all means, but don't try to claim Brexit hasn't put barriers up.

It wasn't just barriers that changed,it was mentalities that changed.
For a good few years I was involved in a program sending EU nationals to work for the NHS,from nurses(who are more qualified in the EU than Britain),thro to surgeons,oncologists,you name it.
When Brexit happened,they just thought'fuct it'.,why would we want to work in a country where we aren't wanted.
Those workers could adapt far more easily culturally than say somebody from Asia. We had a work force on our doorstep and turned our back on it.
We all know someone personally that has needed oncologists or heart/brain surgeons .I know many specialists that left Britain for that reason.
We shot ourselves in the balloxs.

''As a rule of thumb for Germany: UK citizens need a long stay (D) visa and work permit (e.g. blue card) to work for more than three months. For shorter term employment, you need a work visa (C visa).

The short stay work visa is for ‘economic activities’. Some professional activities such as standard business travel (e.g. business meeting, workshops) and a variety of cultural, academic and sports activities may be carried out without the need for a visa as they are not classed as an economic activity. Find more details on the German consulate website.

We found other EU-countries have similar arrangements, however rarely published online. For detailed advice please contact the specific EU-consulate or an immigration lawyer''

Your doing it again

Your conflating buying property abroad (and specifically in the EU) as if its something that's been snatched away from you and you will never be able to do anything about it.

Just what is wrong with you people. If you want to buy a property abroad and live their permanently you just have to apply for the relevant visa, complete the required residency requirement and then apply for citizenship if you wish. It's not rocket science and its not something that UK citizens cannot do if they wish.

Granted its not as easy as it was prior to Brexit and as things stand if you have no intention to stay longer you will be restricted to 180 days in any one year but its still something that any prospective buyer can and should be able to do so. It also looks like certain countries are going to buck the trend and allow more lenient stays for UK folk, so not quite "the end of the world as we know it"

And if you were a scientist ............ 09/2023

''UK’s years out of EU Horizon programme did ‘untold damage’, say scientists, Relief at rejoining flagship research scheme tempered by anger over loss of top academics since Brexit''

''Britain may have rescued its scientific fortunes with a last-minute decision to rejoin the EU’s Horizon research programme – but the move should not be treated as a cause for jubilation, scientists have warned.

The sluggish pace at which the agreement was reached has had too severe an impact on UK research for widespread elation, say many British researchers, who believe that science in this country suffered a major blow after being locked out of the £82bn programme for almost three years since Brexit. Putting it right has taken far too long, they argue.

Since 2020 the UK government has been negotiating to rejoin Horizon after its membership was blocked because of the protracted dispute over Northern Ireland’s trading rules.

Last week’s final announcement that ministers had decided to go ahead with rejoining Horizon was greeted with joy and relief by many senior scientists.

But some of their colleagues have since warned that being locked out of Horizon for so long has done irreversible damage to UK science. This was a time when Britain could have taken key leading roles in major programmes on climate change, AI and new medicines''

And if you were a scientist ............ 09/2023

''UK’s years out of EU Horizon programme did ‘untold damage’, say scientists, Relief at rejoining flagship research scheme tempered by anger over loss of top academics since Brexit''

''Britain may have rescued its scientific fortunes with a last-minute decision to rejoin the EU’s Horizon research programme – but the move should not be treated as a cause for jubilation, scientists have warned.

The sluggish pace at which the agreement was reached has had too severe an impact on UK research for widespread elation, say many British researchers, who believe that science in this country suffered a major blow after being locked out of the £82bn programme for almost three years since Brexit. Putting it right has taken far too long, they argue.

Since 2020 the UK government has been negotiating to rejoin Horizon after its membership was blocked because of the protracted dispute over Northern Ireland’s trading rules.

Last week’s final announcement that ministers had decided to go ahead with rejoining Horizon was greeted with joy and relief by many senior scientists.

But some of their colleagues have since warned that being locked out of Horizon for so long has done irreversible damage to UK science. This was a time when Britain could have taken key leading roles in major programmes on climate change, AI and new medicines''

You bleeding hearts are not listening to the question, IF you have the right skillset you are not wondering anywhere on the off chance of anything.

Talking about rights, visa and work permits are all a ruse to throw the point off the scent.

You can now, as you always could, go anywhere in the world and now just get a job but have your arms snatched off if you are made of the right stuff and have the right skillset.

That's the point, and none of you fawning bleeding hearts can alter that, EU or no EU.

That's it, now i have far more important things to be getting on with.

The original discussion was about Residency Rights....
 
Oh sproty lad, just think of me as a cousin that has a couple of passports with residency rights to more countries

And to think we could do that in 27 other countries with just one passport before 2016.

You conveniently ducked that and changed the subject.  Why did you do that?
 
For the record, before Brexit we had the right to live, without let, anywhere within the EU.  We no longer have that right.
 
And you failed to answer my question - any tangible Brexit benefits yet?
It works both ways and that for us is the best Brexit Benefit!

Hmmm.  Taken to answering questions put to other people now!
 
Still, here's one for you based on your post above. Do you have any children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren? If so how do you think they might feel if they should, at some time in the future, like to buy a house somewhere in the EU and live there permanently?  Of course, if you haven't then the question is mute, though not for others who might wish to do so of course.

Your doing it again

Your conflating buying property abroad (and specifically in the EU) as if its something that's been snatched away from you and you will never be able to do anything about it.

Just what is wrong with you people. If you want to buy a property abroad and live their permanently you just have to apply for the relevant visa, complete the required residency requirement and then apply for citizenship if you wish. It's not rocket science and its not something that UK citizens cannot do if they wish.

Granted its not as easy as it was prior to Brexit and as things stand if you have no intention to stay longer you will be restricted to 180 days in any one year but its still something that any prospective buyer can and should be able to do so. It also looks like certain countries are going to buck the trend and allow more lenient stays for UK folk, so not quite "the end of the world as we know it"

You make it sound like we have become an alien race, grow up and act your age your arguments are all doable, your kids, grand kids, ect still have options.

I'm not conflating anything.  It's simply a question of fact that anyone holding only a UK passport cannot buy a property in the EU and go and live there in perpetuity as they could, without let, before Brexit.
 
We are a 3rd Country so far as the EU are concerned and in the above respect, and in many others, we are treated no differently to someone from, for example, The Gambia.  Their rules mean that we can't be treated differently, because if they changed a rule for us then they'd have to change them for all 3rd Countries.
 
UK ex pats residing in the EU prior to Brexit were permitted to apply for residency and many/most did.  I do know of one person who failed to apply by the end date and who is now bound by the 90 day rule, (it's 90 in 180 not 180 in a year).  He has subsequently tried to apply for a visa and has been turned down.  He even knows the local mayor personally but that hasn't helped either!
 
I personally also know people who bought properties in Spain with a view to living there when they retire and who are now bound by the 90 day rule. They can, of course, apply for a visa - but there's no guarantee they will be accepted.
 
You make it sound like it's easy for anybody to simply buy, move and live over there, it isn't - try it yourself and see.
